Ever mindful of costly ‘landfill’ taxes, the unnecessary road miles travelled in having to transport loose waste, and more importantly the detrimental effect on the environment by burying waste generally, CHT have for some years adopted a strict policy of recycling its waste when and wherever it is possible to do so.
In recent years, CHT has heavily invested in specialist baling equipment ... such as the CK450 cardboard baler, the consequence of which is that, at ‘Jervis’, we now recycle 100% of all cardboard packaging waste and 100% of its clear plastic wrap, such that CHT have turned what was a operational ‘cost’ to the business into a modest but welcome income stream.
During the 12 months to May 2011, CHT had successfully baled 260+ tonnes of cardboard and 47 tonnes of plastic wrap, with all baled product being collected by a specialist provider on purpose built trailers to be recycled into new / raw material product.
